aeliad:wilwheaton:afronerdism:twitblr:RelatableYes. Reading excessively as a child for a lot of us was a form of escapism. But part of the reason so many of us struggle to read now is because we based our entire taste in reading on what helped us escape, but as we get older and our needs changed, a lot of us never adapted our reading tastes. So we keep trying to read YA fiction and it just doesn’t hit the way it used to and we assume it’s because we can’t read like we used to, but the reality is that we need a new genre of liturature to suit our new life experiences and mature taste. I feel very seen right now.Try “New Adult” – a lot of the same stuff, but aged up a bit so you’re not reading things aimed at teens. I read as an escape occasionally still, and it’s a pretty good genre. That or just romance. Honestly as a genre it doesn’t deserve the shit it gets. -- source link
